National Find a Rainbow Day
National Find A Rainbow Day is all about searching for signs for hope and promise. A rainbow is an arch of colors that are caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. The beauty of a rainbow can be found after a rain shower. In 2020, with millions of people quarantined due to the Corona Virus, Find a Rainbow Day has taken on new meaning. As a sign of hope, people placed drawings or photos of rainbows in their windows. Children then take a drive with their parents and participate in a scavenger hunt where they search for them.

Trivia/Fun Facts about Rainbow Day:
- A rainbow is not an object, it cannot be approached or physically touched.
- No two people see the same rainbow, in fact even our individual eyes see slightly different rainbows. If someone appears to be standing under a rainbow you can see, they will see a different rainbow at the same angle but further away.
- Rainbows can be seen not just in rain but also mist, spray, fog, and dew, whenever there are water drops in the air and light shining from behind at the right angle.
- A “double rainbow” is where a second, much fainter arc can be seen outside of the primary arc. This is caused by the light reflecting twice inside the water droplets.
